Those of you who watched the Michael Jackson tribute performed by his sister Janet Jackson and several other world-renowned choreographers were most likely blown away. Some of you may wonder how much work goes into 4 minutes of energy packed dance moves and synchronization? Well MTV did a 20 mini-documentary of what went on behind-the-scenes. Check the video after the jump.
Ever since the opportunity arose to speak about a Michael Jackson tribute mouths have been chattering non-stop. After the invalidated reports of the list of entertainers and the venue of the tribute it seems brother Jermaine Jackson is letting loose on some of the details. Jermaine Jackson has revealed who will perform at a tribute to his late brother Michael.
Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole and Sister Sledge are among the artists that will take part in the concert, reports The AP.
Chris Brown, Akon, Angela Basset and Germany-based boyband US5 are also confirmed for the gig, which will see the entertainers cover Michael’s hits.
More names will be announced at press conferences in London and Berlin later this week.
The tribute, which will be held outside the Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna, will be broadcast live around the world on September 26.
65,000 fans are expected to attend the concert along with Jackson’s family and children. [SOURCE]
Can we speak about anticipation. This is an amazing beginning to the list of entertainers who will pay tribute to Jackson. Chris Brown, good ol’ Chris Brown; glad to see someone realizes that Brown has what it takes to respectfully honor the King of Pop and the event. This will definitely be another event to be tuned it with the hopes of it being televised.
If you cannot wait for September 26 then will this Sunday, the 13th, suffice? According to sources a tribute to Michael Jackson will occur at the MTV Video Music Awards and will see none other than Janet Jackson bringing back her amazing choreography to honor her brother.
Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers — which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.
According to Kryiss Grant, one of the dancers involved (who was also an usher at MJ’s burial), some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.
Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, Grant tells us “there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”[SOURCE]
Another reason for us to be excited about this year’s VMA’s. We would be over the VMA’s but just the fact that it’s back in NYC sparks an interest as well as the list of performers. For sure Janet will bring the fire. Also, isn’t it amazing that it had to take an incident like this for MTV to allow Janet to perform on their stages again. Anyway this is a double whammy; she will pay tribute to her beloved brother as well as leaving every single viewer anxious for her forthcoming album.
